What’s included?

Individual airport pickup.A driver from the company Le Cab will be waiting for you by name at the airport to help you with your bags. Enjoy a smooth ride straight to COH’s office for your personalized check-in. Every car in Le Cab’s fleet is equipped with an iPad with an English-language display, so you can send an email to friends and family at home to let them know you’ve arrived safely.

We’ll take you to your apartment.After you’ve finished checking in at COH’s office and have your keys in hand, a driver from Le Cab will take you directly to your new home.

Pre-paid SIM card.Get connected as soon as you arrive. During check-in at our offices, we’ll provide you with a pre-paid SIM card, so you can call and text in France right away. If you choose, you can later convert this SIM to a monthly plan through our partner provider. Remember to have your phone unlocked before coming to France.

Getting around Paris.We’ll provide you with a carnet of 10 metro tickets to get you started getting around Paris. We'll also provide you with a basic "Navigo découverte" card that you can activate on a weekly or monthly basis. We'll explain the different options for extending your pass for the rest of your stay and can help walk you through the process.

Having a Navigo Pass also allows you to sign up for the Vélib bikeshare system. Paris’s Vélib is one of the fastest and most convenient ways to get around the city. During check-in, we’ll provide you with information on how to sign up. COH recommends you wear a helmet when riding a Vélib or any other bicycle in Paris!

COH "Ultimate Paris Essentials" Welcome Tote. This is your first-week Parisian survival kit from COH. We'll provide you with the things you need to feel perfectly comfortable in your apartment right from the get-go: our favorite French food items, basic household items, and toiletries so you can take a nice, hot shower and relax as soon as you get to your new home! We’ll also throw in a universal adapter so you can charge your computer and phone and get online right away. All of this will be waiting for you in a reusable shopping bag you can use all semester each time you go to the grocery store or the market (all shops in France charge for plastic and paper bags, so it's better to bring your own!).
